Specialty Recipe

Plantation Cakes with Sauteed Apples and Maple Sugar

Ingredients for each serving:

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup flour

1/8 teaspoon salt

Turn oven on to 450 degrees. Prepare individual oven-proof 1-cup
quiche dishes by placing two teaspoons of margarine in each dish and
pre-warming them in the oven for five minutes before adding the
mixture.

Whisk egg(s) in milk. Sift in flour and salt. Blend with whisk.
Remove hot dishes from oven and swirl them to spread the margarine
over the bottom surface of the dish. Pour in mixture and quickly
return to oven. Turn down heat to 400 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes.

While Pancakes bake: Peel, core, and quickly slice, one
large apple for each two pancakes. Saute slices in margarine just
until transparent and still holding shape. Three minutes before
pancakes come out, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of crushed maple sugar
for each apple. Toss gently to coat slices. Serve on top of pancakes.

Plantation cakes are four-inch high puffs baked in the oven, similar
to popovers. The maple sugar is available in 1-pound bags from the
Heritage Mountain Craft Festival held near the Inn in June and
September.
